"DAD! I'm hungry." "DAD! Can you tie my shoes?" "HONEY! The baby needs a diaper change." How do you balance all the distractions with raising children and still be able to deliver at your job? As Ruby developers, it's something that many of us can relate to but few really talk openly about. I work full-time at Engine Yard, create videos for Code TV, and also maintain RailsInstaller. All of that needs to balance nicely with my family and this talk will explore some of the problems I've faced and how I address them.
